In this article we investigate some strategies for solving set partitioning problems (SPP), in particular the gains in computational efficiency that can be...

Decentralized sequential hypothesis testing refers to a generalization of Wald's sequential hypothesis testing setup in which multiple decision makers make ...

Various disturbances such as adverse weather conditions may result in delayed or canceled flights and affect the optimized schedules planned for airline crew...

This paper considers a family of cutting planes, recently developed for mixed 0-1 polynomial programs and shows that they define facets for the maximum edge-...

In prior works, this group demonstrated the feasibility of valid adaptive sequential designs for crossover bioequivalence studies. In this paper, we extend t...

Pressure on ancillary reserves in power systems has significantly mounted due to the recent generalized increase of the fraction of (highly fluctuating) wi...

The types of constraints encountered in black-box and simulation-based optimization problems differ significantly from those treated in nonlinear programmin...

It is well known that the mixed linear complementarity problem can be used to model the equilibrium in energy markets as well as a host of other engineering ...

We consider the class of stochastic games played over finite event trees, that is, games where the random process is an act of nature and is not influenced b...

We study the function returning the sum of the k components of largest magnitude of a vector. We show that if a nonnegative vector x is such that its Eu...

The fundamental limits of remote estimation of Markov processes under communication constraints are presented. The remote estimation system consists of a sen...

The first part of this two-part paper developed the framework for characterizing the feasibility regions of power systems in the demand space. This character...

This two-part paper presents a framework for the characterization and minimal representation of the feasibility regions of power systems in the demand space....

This paper presents a structured approach to model logical constraints (expressions that contain propositions and logical operators) in a linear program usin...

A new algorithm for the optimal stope design problem is proposed. It is based on a previous methodology developed by Bai et al. (2013a) where a cylindrical ...

This paper provides an overview of the role, past, present and future, of demand-side management and demand-side response in electric grids. We address the f...

We propose a primal algorithm for the Set Partitioning Problem based on the Integral Simplex Using Decomposition of Zaghrouti et al. (2014). We present the a...

The maximally diverse grouping problem requires finding a partition of a given set of elements into a fixed number of mutually disjoint subsets (or groups) i...

In this paper we propose a general variable neighborhood search heuristic for solving the uncapacitated single allocation p-hub center problem (USApHCP). F...

The uncapacitated multiple allocation p-hub center problem (UMApHCP) consists of choosing p hub locations from a set of nodes with pairwise traffic deman...
